It's Been Ages

Yes it really has been a while I know. All I can tell you is I always seem busy busy busy and why? Well the following photos will tell you why.

GOING

GOING

GONE!!!!!!

This little person and I have been sharing lots of time together and I often have to go and lie down when she's gone home. You really forget what hard work they are. I'm nuts about her though.

Definitely not much sewing going on here but I am going show you some photos of a lovely talk we had at our quilt group a few weeks ago. It was called INSPIRATION NORGE.
Some lovely Norwegian ladies came in their national costumes to show us the type of quilts they make.
They explained that as they have very long dark winters in Norway they like to use red in their quilts.

They explained that the costumes are regional and differ from area to area.

As you can see they do love a bit of red in their quilts.
We finished off the evening with this traditional cake that one of them had made for us to try.

Oh Sue - I had such a laugh at the photos of little Abigail!! Wonderful that you can spend time with her - exhausting thought it is! I didn't think for a moment that you nudged her into that basket..hehe. You always have something interesting to show us - love the Norwegian displays. The knitting is beautiful too. Hilda

Looks like you all had a great evening and I am quite taken with the strippy sampler. I can see why they add red as it does make the quilts sparkle. Abi is looking a very confident little girl and determined.

What a sweet way to spend your day, Sue. Miss A is adorable beyond words. I know she fills your days with JOY. I've been MIA with visiting. Caught up tonight with all your wonderful quilt posts and travel to Nantes. That's a lovely city. We were there in fall of 2011 visiting French friends who live in Nantes. Did you go to the market? Thanks for the visit. Bloglovin doesn't like my feed, but I see that I'm on your sidebar. Fortunately my feed is working for updates on sidebars again.

Very fun show and tell , thanks for sharing. Oh my that cake looks sooo good.ok love the pictures she is just so adorable don't they do the cutest things :)I always love just sitting back and watching them at this age!Kathie
